Your precious Mediabiasfact checking rates Meidas Touch as Mixed credibility , because they don’t know wofunds them

Non of this is mentioned with Meidas Touch

All makes me hungry, unfortunately.
All though the other day , the chemist gave me a Difflam throat spray for a painful cough and while it did work, the next morning I was having respiratory issues, similar to asthma, so I googled Difflams side effects and sure enough, breathing issues, warning if you have asthma,
Not a word from the chemist though.!!

I dont have wings, I just call it as I see it.

If the WokeyJokey lefty looneys could do well anywhere in the world,ALL good.They dont get near ok though.

On Saturday night, I went to bed around 8/30, watching soccer but didnt see the 2nd half.Woke at 10/05,COUGHing with a strange burning sensation in my throat and sweating like a pig.This went on for half an hour, had to get cold fridge water and put on my face and put the AirCon on.Got to sleep around midnight, lethargic all the next day.

Never ever have felt like that in all my years???...

I avoid cities, 30 years in Sydneeee was long enough.

But Greenland is not a part of European Union. And troops comment was in the context of defending the Arctic in collaboration with the US who already have the base there. And European Union doesn't have an army. It will at some point, but not there yet.

Fox gets low credibility, numerous fact check failures, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, poor sources, propaganda.

"But Greenland is not a part of European Union. And troops comment was in the context of defending the Arctic in collaboration with the US who already have the base there. And European Union doesn't have an army. It will at some point, but not there yet."

it's almost like the EU don't fairly contribute to the regional security, and are heavily reiant on the US for regional security...

a bit like NATO

all the whilst, bagging out the US at every opportunity

until they need that regional security that is...

the greenland thingy is quite interesting, they desperately want independence from denmark, and trump might just be the guy that hands it to them...

through investment rather than any military intervention

ripe for the picking it would seem, with trump seemingly offering his usual most ridiculous first offer in 'the art of the deal'

a few points;

-largely ignored by denmark

-taken for granted by the EU

-resources rich but totally under utilised

-resource richness becoming more and more viable as ice sheets recede

-china and russia showing interest in the above

-and, ice sheets receding making the area more navigatable for longer periods

-so china and russia are sniffing around more often for longer periods

receding ice has made it more of a security concern. that the EU and denmark has shown little interest or concern for... until trump started talking bigly...

another own goal and display of uselessness from the EU?

kinda looks that way...

https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/who-is-trump-s-27-year-old-press...

That's pretty cool that a 27 year old young lady gets the job, it wouldn't be an easy job either getting grilled by the media, needing to defend Trumps craziness at times, and im sure Trump would be pretty critical too, and not always easy to keep happy.

Interesting post sypkan , let the citizens vote on it , see which government offers the best deal for the people . I did see a short video on some greenland youth who were pro Trump and didn’t like their current rulers , I took the video with a grain of salt but would be good to hear from more citizens , not their government .

Trump saying that they want it is just another in a long line of lies and b.s.

of course they wouldn't want to be a part of the US, that be just swapping one 'coloniser' for another...

but if trump's subsequent offers walk back the colonising for significant investment - which the danes have failed to do - they might just be won over...

american 'hegemony' if you will

again...

anyway, independence is on the cards - even the danes were apparently working towards that

dust settling from trump's initial huff and bluster offer?

Some interesting stats , polls are one thing, a vote would put it beyond doubt . Trump won’t abandon them if they are that strategically important to US security . There will be some serious deals going down . He will huff & puff but eventually some type of negotiation will happen . https://www.reuters.com/world/poll-shows-85-greenlanders-do-not-want-be-...

So funny all them sooky hardcore right cried over Rudd's Hallmark greeting card...
So scary...Rudd is in deep shit....did ya see what he wrote...Like OMG!

World at Large cries over Rudd deleting the last heartfelt irretrievable loving tribute to Trump.

Since then none could ever dream of anyone saying anything half as nice about The Prez.

#@!* Off + Get %#@! + STFU + Go Genocide Golf Of America ya #@*!

Melania is considering hiring Ambassador Rudd to print up a few heartfelt Mar-a-Lago Invites...

^ If anyone has a hankering to see the PFoJ splitter, currently on SBS,
https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/monty-pythons-life-of-brian/326242...
kinda one of those things you carry with you, like a wire or fugazi record,
but probably it is fun (and deserved) to revisit every 5 years or so.

"But Greenland is not a part of European Union. And troops comment was in the context of defending the Arctic in collaboration with the US who already have the base there. And European Union doesn't have an army. It will at some point, but not there yet."

it's almost like the EU don't fairly contribute to the regional security, and are heavily reiant on the US for regional security...

a bit like NATO

all the whilst, bagging out the US at every opportunity

until they need that regional security that is...

the greenland thingy is quite interesting, they desperately want independence from denmark, and trump might just be the guy that hands it to them...

through investment rather than any military intervention

ripe for the picking it would seem, with trump seemingly offering his usual most ridiculous first offer in 'the art of the deal'

a few points;

-largely ignored by denmark

-taken for granted by the EU

-resources rich but totally under utilised

-resource richness becoming more and more viable as ice sheets recede

-china and russia showing interest in the above

-and, ice sheets receding making the area more navigatable for longer periods

-so china and russia are sniffing around more often for longer periods

receding ice has made it more of a security concern. that the EU and denmark has shown little interest or concern for... until trump started talking bigly...

another own goal and display of uselessness from the EU?

kinda looks that way...

The irony being,
Trump calls climate change a hoax,
while at the same time wanting to acquire Greenland , because global warming is melting the ice sheets, making it more navigable and easier to access the rare minerals ,.

Meanwhile in case you were being distracted by Greenland and didn’t notice,
Trump shuts down virtually all funding and loans for everything?apparently he was playing golf,when they froze the federal funding for Meals on Wheels, school meals and babies milk powder.
